During her ten years of being intimately involved in the world of intense bondage art production, Elise began noticing the positive effects that bondage activity had on the lives of it's participants.  Elise noticed that engaging in bondage activity within a trusted environment lead to the development of a pervasive "calm confidence" - a reduction in anxiety and depression, increased interest in personal exploration and development, and a greater understanding of the self. 

Upon noticing how bondage seemed to allow for consistent positive change in it's practitioners, Elise wondered how a more intentional bondage practice could be utilized for the benefit of it's participants.  Incorporating tools and philosophy from Psychology, Buddhism, Reiki, Vedanta, Tantra, and more, Elise desired to create a space that was optimally conducive for facilitating a person to open up, to trust, to "let go," and to experience loving energy while in a highly receptive state.  This experience of being vulnerable while receiving loving energy and practicing the art of "letting go" is the special mixture that is Bondage Therapy.

Bondage therapy creates the conditions which allow a person to surrender, to trust, and to make themselves vulnerable to another human being. In using the body's vulnerable position (often, a little goes a long way), it encourages the mind to follow suit. This leads to a vulnerability, or openness, of the mind. The person is in a highly receptive state. Subtly and powerfully, a person in that meditative state begins to allow repressed thoughts and emotions float up to the surface. It is precisely this shift, this movement, from the repressed, unconscious state to the seen, conscious state that allows for a powerful transformation.  Sometimes its perceptible, sometimes it is not. But always, it is transformative.
